Letter: Rep. Murphy should be made boss of UW-Madison

I feel safer now that Rep. David Murphy will personally decide if UW-Madison courses are "legit."

It is about time those liberals at the UW-Madison are punished by withholding funds so that "legitimate education is going on." Murphy has said he was "trying to talk up" increased funding, but will pull any new funding if a new course called "The problem of Whiteness" is not canceled.

Murphy is chairman of the Assembly Committee on Colleges and Universities and although he has not really supported the University in the past, he is certainly qualified to challenge those courses he feels are not legit. He has directed his staff to look at those troublesome humanities courses the university has said, "will benefit students who are interested in developing a deeper understanding of race issues".

Murphy feels that the university should be run as he is used to, a structure where there is a boss who makes the decisions.

This idea that the University has a "long tradition for allowing individual facility and department level people the freedom to design courses reflecting topics that they and their department consider important" should be censured by a boss and who better for that role?

I for one feel better about making Murphy the new "Boss of the University of Wisconsin at Madison."
